Olive trees, tastes & traditions

Walk through organic olive groves in the Belìce Valley, discover the secrets of Nocellara olives from tree to mill, and take part in a technical EVO oil tasting workshop paired with seasonal local specialties.

You will be guided on an open-air walk through organic olive groves, surrounded by traditional Sicilian countryside landscapes. The activity introduces you to local farming practices through stories of the land and a look at the specific traits of the Nocellara del Belìce cultivar. While walking the fields, you will learn about organic cultivation techniques before moving to the production facility to explore every stage of the extra virgin olive oil crafting process.

You will actively participate through a sensory workshop: learning proper professional tasting techniques, identifying high-quality indicators, and distinguishing key aromas, flavors, and organoleptic qualities by nose and palate. The session includes a guided tasting of the estate's EVO oil paired with a selection of local specialties and seasonal products.

Depending on the season of your visit, the experience may include hands-on farm activities, such as participating directly in the olive harvest or watching live demonstrations of product processing.
